I'm waiting for a phone call from a couple DG employees. I'm not leaving the house until then.

How do you know they will call? I went to the one on US-1 and 186 last week and today I hit the one on 8th street and 51st just to check it out. The stock room was full of crap, like 4 or 5 pallets worth and only like 2 employees stocking. I asked the manager and he said he wassnt going to be recieving them. At that point I called bullshit on him and told him he had no clue what it was I was showing him in the picture, how could he possibly know if he was or wassnt going to recieve something he didnt recognize when I showed him the pic on my cell phone. He admited that he gets a truck on Wednesday but the stuff wont be on the floor till Friday.

I get the impression you dont even need a highschool diploma to manage a Dollar General, and the employees dont look like they even have work permits.

I seriously doubt they will actually call you unless they are personal friends of yours.

Here's to making new friends I guess. After chatting with them for a bit and seeing them take my phone number down twice. One sticky note is in the warehouse and the other is at the managers office...all I can do at this point is hope they call back.

First time poster, long time lurker, so bear with me.
@WildWeasel, I confess, I'm the guy who bought the lone Cobra Trooper from the Dollar General on Atlantic. I visited that store on Friday but only found an empty Joe peg. I went searching all other stores in the Ft. Lauderdale area yesterday and found all of them at the DG on Powerline (the second store I came across with a Joe peg).

On my way back home, I decided to stop into the Atlantic location again to see if they had any and there they were! So I picked up a second Cobra Trooper for my army. Probably should've stopped there first but oh well :-|

So far the only stores in the Fort Lauderdale area I know with Joe pegs are the Coral Springs store, the Coconut Creek location (they had really old Joes on their pegs) and the Pompano location (on Powerline). This doesn't mean the other stores won't get them in, just an observation.

I sure as hell won't get upset if they disregard me.

I'm curious bro. How did you convey to them what it was you were looking for? I told them what its called: gi joe. I told them what the box would look like: it says Hasbro. I showed them pictures on my phone and still no one could understand what it was I was asking about.
Also, what store did you check so I know not to hunt in your territory.
